00:00:04.270 --> 00:00:07.750
Hello guys and welcome back to this GoSkills course.
00:00:07.750 --> 00:00:09.970
It is all about Todoist, and
00:00:09.970 --> 00:00:14.390
we have been diving into some exciting elements of creating a task.
00:00:14.390 --> 00:00:17.020
As you can imagine, we've learned a few parts already.
00:00:17.020 --> 00:00:21.430
We've learned due dates, we've learned how to create recurring due dates.
00:00:21.430 --> 00:00:26.900
Also priority levels, as well as the simple and basics to creating a project,
00:00:26.900 --> 00:00:30.750
and some exciting things about dates and planning ahead.
00:00:30.750 --> 00:00:32.570
So it's a great way to get started.
00:00:32.570 --> 00:00:35.890
What we're going to do is actually combine a lot of these experiences
00:00:35.890 --> 00:00:37.500
into this final element.
00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:42.310
Now, Todoist has something very exciting called intelligent input.
00:00:42.310 --> 00:00:45.940
Now, this was introduced to essentially help save you time
00:00:45.940 --> 00:00:49.380
when you're capturing or creating new tasks.
00:00:49.380 --> 00:00:52.914
As we mentioned earlier in the course, you can actually access it Quick Add
00:00:52.914 --> 00:00:53.483
through Q.
00:00:53.483 --> 00:00:58.360
That is the keyboard press that would allow you to quickly open up this panel.
00:00:58.360 --> 00:01:03.350
Now from this panel, I can demonstrate how to use the new intelligent input function.
00:01:03.350 --> 00:01:07.840
This is something that a lot of people do enjoy using inside of Todoist.
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:12.550
So for example, let's say I do want to learn some Spanish this weekend and
00:01:12.550 --> 00:01:14.050
I actually want to plan it out.
00:01:14.050 --> 00:01:21.250
So for example, I put Learn Basic Phrases in Spanish.
00:01:21.250 --> 00:01:24.160
That is the task and in this right hand panel for
00:01:24.160 --> 00:01:27.275
schedule, you can actually schedule the due date.
00:01:27.275 --> 00:01:29.825
But in this case, I'm actually going to delete this one and
00:01:29.825 --> 00:01:32.085
come back to this section here.
00:01:32.085 --> 00:01:37.670
Now if I wanted to add a specific date, say for example Saturday at 11 AM,
00:01:37.670 --> 00:01:42.297
all I would have to do is type in Sat, as a short code at 11 AM.
00:01:42.297 --> 00:01:44.785
And as you can see, it's actually highlighted it.
00:01:44.785 --> 00:01:48.330
Now, this is quite important because this will actually schedule it for
00:01:48.330 --> 00:01:50.180
Saturday, 11 AM.
00:01:50.180 --> 00:01:53.260
Now, it's really helpful because you don't necessarily have to set for
00:01:53.260 --> 00:01:57.070
Saturday and 11 AM, you can learn these short codes.
00:01:57.070 --> 00:02:00.956
So for example, if I wanted to change it to maybe tomorrow at 11 AM,
00:02:00.956 --> 00:02:05.311
although tomorrow is a Friday, maybe I wanted to learn a little bit earlier,
00:02:05.311 --> 00:02:06.859
I could add tom and 11 AM.
00:02:06.859 --> 00:02:09.440
And that quickly indicates that.
00:02:09.440 --> 00:02:14.561
So you can use tom for tomorrow, today for today, tod is in short code.
00:02:14.561 --> 00:02:19.354
And you can use for example, this Thursday, this Friday, next Friday, and
00:02:19.354 --> 00:02:23.190
even some of the recurring date reminders, say for example,
00:02:23.190 --> 00:02:26.619
every couple of weeks to create a recurring reminder.
00:02:26.619 --> 00:02:30.450
Now, it is really easy to do something like this.
00:02:30.450 --> 00:02:35.490
If you want to add a project, you can use the hashtag to add a project.
00:02:35.490 --> 00:02:37.158
So for example, this is a personal item.
00:02:37.158 --> 00:02:39.910
So I'm going to click personal, and that's a really easy and
00:02:39.910 --> 00:02:41.870
short way to add personal.
00:02:41.870 --> 00:02:46.602
Now, if I wanted to add a priority level, let's say this is low priority, I can type
00:02:46.602 --> 00:02:52.000
in P3 or P2 for example for a medium level one, or P1 for a high level item.
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:56.278
So you can see here in front of me, I've got Learn Basic Phrases in Spanish
00:02:56.278 --> 00:02:59.661
tomorrow at 11 AM, personal in that project, and P3.
00:02:59.661 --> 00:03:02.919
Down here if I wanted to, I could add a reminder.
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:05.720
However, I'm just going to click Add Task.
00:03:06.780 --> 00:03:10.690
So if I go over to my next seven days section, you can see it's been firmly
00:03:10.690 --> 00:03:15.990
added to tomorrow at 11 AM with all the relevant contacts points.
00:03:15.990 --> 00:03:18.970
Now, being able to use intelligent input will save you time.
00:03:18.970 --> 00:03:23.600
And it also, once you've learned it, give you the abilities to quickly add something
00:03:23.600 --> 00:03:25.880
when you are using your Todoist account.
00:03:25.880 --> 00:03:28.880
So guys, thank you very much for joining me in section two.
00:03:28.880 --> 00:03:31.670
In section three, we'll be diving into the projects
00:03:31.670 --> 00:03:35.210
area which is one of the best ways to organize your Todoist account.
00:03:35.210 --> 00:03:37.958
We highly recommend that you get started with this one.
00:03:37.958 --> 00:03:42.257
Because it's great way to organize all of these items into the relevant areas,
00:03:42.257 --> 00:03:47.130
create projects that really suits your needs, and to suit all of your practices.
00:03:47.130 --> 00:03:49.489
I'm looking forward to joining you there, cheers.
